• Connected to Outlook Express and all my existing e-mails have disappeared

  original title: Outlook Express

  Connected to Outlook Express and all my existing e-mails have disappeared.  Only those today showed.  I tried using the search of .eml files and get no results.  Can anyone help with location on the hard drive the .eml files?  Thank you.

  You won't find files for Outlook Express .eml. They are stored in the format of data in the form of .dbx files.

  ******************************************

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

  Recovery methods:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• New to Lr and all my folders on my desk somehow!

  I am new to Lightroom and not most computer savy guy in the room. I used the plugin to move my library to open. He succeeded, but I went to referenced before using the plugin. I spent the last hours of grooming since my projects imported into Lightroom and files and not collections. I've read online a suggestion not to mess with files and use collections if my plan is to have a folder for each year that holds all of this years pictures and a collection for each year filled with collections that represent what were once projects.

  The Office on my MacBook Pro was not visible due to open windows, etc... Things began to slow down and when I hid everything from the office, I see that all these files are not in my photos folder but on the desktop. I don't know how it happened when I created new folders I have them created in my pictures folder.

  The solution is as simple as opening a finder window and drag and drop of these folders on the desktop in the pictures folder? What has caused this in the first place and how can I prevent this from happening in the future when you import a memory card.

  My apologies for these basic questions, but I have always been more than a user of my computer as an organizer - if that makes sense. The simpler and more intuitive the better - one of the reasons why I went with a Mac when I started with computers. Don't want to move things without knowing what exactly what I'm doing and potentially make things worse.

  Yes, the location of the folder is easily corrected.

  Using the Finder, move the folders from your "office" to a more appropriate folder.

  Then go to the records of the library made LR module Panel right click on the above files now 'missing' and say LR where you move them to LR will reconnect everything under the folder.

  When you import your images from memory cards, pay attention to your 'destination folder' on the right side of the import dialog box.

  Worth years of images in a single folder is probably a bad idea in drops in file system performance when too many files are placed in a single folder. Organization of individual days would be preferable, organizing a month would be better than nothing.

• All grey records out and have an exclamation mark after each.  How to restore?

  My card reader did not accept my SD card.  Cat called for help.  Had me change the attachment of USB port to the USB port on my mac.  Loading images, but instead of going into my mini disk G (reserved for photos), these images are gone in the drive of my IMac.  More important still, albums of the library are all dimmed by a question mark after every (dozens of them).  The tech told me to click with the right button on each folder, and I would go to the source.  I'm been in the library, selected an album, right-click on it, sent me to a page headed by perfect 8 effects.  My G drive icon disappeared from my desktop IMac computer.  I am a novice and I'm lost.  Help!

  Hi Lynnlett,

• "Windows Vista Security Center" close browser windows, precise I have a virus, and now no programs will be opened. Windows does not start in safe mode, and all the system restore points have already disappeared.

  Hello

  I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

  This happened to someone else, and it is fixable without wiping everything?

  Thanks in advance,
  Emma

  Hi Emma,

  This could be due to a virus on your computer.  Try to make a virus on your computer scan to check if your computer is infected.

• Panos and HDR files lost in Lightroom

  Hi all

  I just finished editing photos for a client and that the folder contained a handful of - Pano and HDR - files that have been created in Lightroom.  I exported and shipped to the customer (* phew! *).  I then moved from one folder to another on my computer in the same hard disk, that they were imported (an internal hard drive, but not my HD operation).  Now all the panos and HDR files are GONE.  Previews are still in LR, but they have the '! ' at the top right of the thumbnail.  When I click it, it says "file not found.  You want to locate? "Who I looked everywhere and they aren't there.

  All the normal RAW files are there and all my edits seem to have been applied, it's just that the Panos and HDR files have disappeared!  Help!  Thank you!

  Well, it seems that you have encountered this bug: uploading photos on an external hard drive, lost photos

  This seems to be the first time that someone has experienced this bug where the move was between folders on the same disk.

  Like I said, just to stop mobile photos nearby, use of metadata to indicate the status of the photo.

• Created a new catalog in Lightroom 3 and all my files/folders are "gone".

  Of course, I'm pretty new with Lightroom, but I am quite at a loss to explain what happened.  I wanted to create a new catalog to move files in.  I went to file > new catalog, and then "create a folder with the new catalog" dialog box, I typed in my new name and press "Save".  Boom.  Lightroom closed right.  When I opened upward, all my folders and catologs disappeared.  Nothing is displayed in the navigation section of the left side, other than securities, "Catalogs", "Files", "Collections", etc and they are empty.  In 'My Computer' all the files are still there with the DNG files in place, but LR will not show them to me.  Can someone please explain to me why I can access is no longer my catalogs?  I hope it is something simple that I just keep overlooking...

  If Lightroom shuts down accidentally (computer crash, Lightroom crash, power failure) a .lock file is usually left. There are good reasons why the database creates this locking file, which I won't get in, but basically impossible to open your file catalog again until the .lock file is deleted from the hard drive.

  Recommended... some people write metadata in files, others do not. It certainly isn't a necessary step. I think that the main advantage to do this, if you want to share photos with other users of Adobe products that can read the changes (LR, PS, bridge or PSE); or if you want to share other metadata (keywrods, legends, location, etc.) in the file with other people or other applications that can read these other metadata. There is therefore, no recommended way to go, there is only the way that fits your needs. The main tool to protect you against the loss of data is the Catalog backup, as there are a few things in the catalog that are never written in the metadata.

  If you want to use as your first photographic application, Lightroom I advice to look at some of the many videos on Lightroom that are available online. I would also advise against Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, as (according to me), their opinion is often off of the brand or simply bad advice.

• I have a laptop running XP pro with office 2003. All of a sudden all the folders and files in the folders have read only attribute applied.

  This make all folders on the computer and all the files stored inside. The individual files are not performed. If I remove read-only folders and files and click OK, reopen the file and the attribute has been applied.
  Any solution to this problem s.

  Dave

  It's not a problem... it is a feature.

  At a time in the past, Windows has decided that the read-only attribute means nothing, because it applies to files, so Microsoft 'solved' this bit to indicate to whom the file has been customized.  There are other methods available if you really don't want to do a write-protected file.  The details are explained in the following Microsoft KB article.  I recommend reading the article in full to understand what Microsoft did...

  "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"

• When I raise my documents, I want a folder and all subfolders inside.

  Original title: missing files

  I'm working on Windows 8.  When I raise my documents, I want a folder and all subfolders inside.  When I look for them using search for documents, they appear.  They all are highlighted in yellow.  -What this means and how do I make them appear again with my documents?

  Hi Claudia,.

  Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  You may experience this problem if the folders are hidden or library is corrupted. Follow these steps and check if that helps:

  Step 1: I suggest you restore default library and check if it helps:

  1. press on the Windows key + E

  2. If you are not able to view the library

  3. the Ribbon, click view

  4. click on Navigation pane

  5 check display libraries

  6. right click on libraries and click restore default libraries

  Step 2: follow these steps to restore default folder settings.

  1. press on the Windows key + E

  2. the Ribbon , click view

  3. click on the Options button.

  4. on the general tab and view , click Restore default.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.
